Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Woah!  I forgot that site existed!  About 12 or 13 years ago an old friend, who sadly had to move, ran a MSH game and we were using that site as a resource.  So much good stuff!

It's still going strong. In fact, with the Facebook community plugged into it, I'd say it's one of the best and most actively supported supers TTRPG out there.

And the quality is generally... Amazing(50) at least.

Thanks for the warning.  That's a pretty good assortment, anyway.  Maybe possums and capybaras for a later edition?  And while you're at it, maybe an ascended Maine Coon?

  Ascended Maine Coons risk impinging on David Weber's treecats. :)

The S 5e core book arrived on PDF to those that backed the Kickstarter. I looks exactly what it sounds like. I just got it moments ago so I can't say much more than that.

Our Feeble(2) attempts at humor shouldn't lead you to the Monstrous(75) decision to log into Facebook if you want the new materials. Most of that stuff is re-posted on the CMF website. Of course if you want community feedback and talking shop, go for it.

If you can, and are willing to, give a quick rundown on this game I'd be appreciative. I'm curious to know if it is designed to be fully compatible with 5e or if the designers made the game to be its own game and only uses the Basic D&D 5e chassis (and by that extension if it requires someone to use the D&D PHB or not?).

What RPGS handle immunities to damage such as a fire elemental being immune to fire well?

Off the top of my head, from what I've played:
Palladium
Godlike (one roll system)
Aberrant (white wolf)
Mutants and Masterminds (d20)
Sentinels (which is a new game, and so far my fav since Marvel Super Heroes)


Most games are like Marvel SH where there is an increased resistance.  In Marvel an "immunity" to fire is a resistance to fire that is so high (Class 1000), that you can walk on the surface of the sun.  For a fire to be hotter than the sun it would incinerate the solar system.  Marvel classifies that as "immunity" because it's a resistance that's higher than a standard campaign could endure.

Mutants & Masterminds handles it with its immunity power. I believe immunity to heat/fire special effects is 10 points (out of a typically 150 point build).

By contrast, immunity to all attacks that are resisted with toughness is a 50 point power (leaving you still open to effects resisted with Fort and Will which would take another 100 points to get... making you an unskilled person with barely average ability scores who's impervious to everything except special powers that don't target normal defenses).

So, yeah, a specific immunity like that is easy to do in the system, but is scaled in such a way that any sort of broad immunity is going to be a really significant part of your character concept.
